Re: [RC] [RC] Hide the Horse Food - Chris PausWell, as you have learned, there are several schools of thought on this... At one ride, my horse hung up at 80 bpm at the vet check, refusing to come down... Diane Fruth started shoving whole carrots in his mouth, and he dropped to criteria almost immediately! That shoots the theory that they won't pulse down if they are eating... I think in his case, he was so worried about the other horses coming and going, they kept sending his heart rate back up. When his mind was on food, he relaxed. chris --- Cowgirgoof@xxxxxxx wrote: My horse won't drop if he's eating... Now I've heard recently it may only have to do with what position the head is in; ie: head down, pulse up, head up, pulse will come down... Any thoughts on this?
